Description

Vernors Ginger Ale is one of America's oldest soft drinks and a favorite hometown beverage in Michigan — born right here in Detroit. Over the years, the soda has gained a local reputation as a cure-all for stomach aches, colds and more. But is the medicinal magic of Vernors a myth or reality? In this episode of "CuriosiD," WDET's Amanda LeClaire answers the bubbling question by consulting with two Detroit area doctors.
